Sally found the recipe at Dinner With Julie, this is a great blog for lots of dinner ideas, and pretty pictures of delicious looking food.
It is really a crossover of pie and cake. The cake was heavy and fruity. I would be more inclined to serve it at a brunch rather than dinner. It is not a show stopper, but rather classic comfort food. The plums we used were fairly tart and that was a great flavor! I would love to try this with rhubarb and apple. The color would be beautiful and the tartness is a wonderful contrast to the heavy cake.
Also I would increase the butter just a little (1/4 cup) to give the cake the golden crispy top that it needs. The top of our cake looked a little pasty.
First, cut your fruit (tart is best) into small chunks - we used plums - and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Second, mix the cake batter:
Third, pour batter over fruit:
Finally, bake and serve warm with ice cream. Actually, we didn't do this part. We didn't have time to eat it until much later and it was yummy, even cold. But it was best the next morning for breakfast. I think it makes a wonderful, easy breakfast cake.

First comment! Neener neener neener.
The words "breakfast" and "cake" should be married forever.
I think it looks yummy! Maybe I'll try it for breakfast next weekend during General Conference.
It was good, and the next day after we all had some for breakfast, I had a hard time not finishing the rest of it off all by myself. It just tasted so wholesome, fruity and delicious. It is fun to cook with someone--Robin is a great cooking partner!
Yum. So making this on G.C. Sunday
Yum! I think I'm going to have to get domestic and try it!
At first, I thought, "Plum cake? Gross." But that last photo got me interested. Maybe I'll get brave.
we have a plum tree and I am always looking for new things to do w/ our fruit. my tastebuds are singing: lllllaaaaaaa!
Wow. My drool just shorted out my keyboard.
So, if I want to make it with apples fresh from the orchard for Sunday morning GC (which starts at noon for us and eat lunch during....) Should I make it Sat night or Sunday?
I want to cook with Robin.
Melissa, if you read this, make it Saturday. It will be so delish on Sunday.
